Home Sweet Home

A Note from the Kids -

Dad is back home from the hospital as of Friday the 31st. He was admitted on Sunday and spent 5 days. We spent the day together on Saturday to celebrate Mom and Cameron's birthdays. We had a nice day of relaxing, good food, watching football, enjoying some fresh air, and most of all...enjoying more time together. Jason flew in from Omaha for a few days to join us. We await Jared & Mel's call to announce baby Israel's birth! Hopefully it'll be soon! Although, Cameron did offer Mel $100 if she held out til the 7th, so Israel & Cameron could share a birthday :)

Mom's back surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning, the 4th. Hopefully she'll be up and running soon! This is a long time coming and she's hoping for relief in the near future. Danae & the kids will be spending a few days at their house to help out.

We thank you for your continued prayers for dad and mom. Some specific things you can pray for are:

-Dad's sarcoidosis would not spread any further.
-The prednizone would begin to aggressively heal dad.
-The side effects of the prednizone would not be so uncomfortable to live with.
-His heart rate would stay regular.
-His spirits to remain high as he struggles with not being able to do so many things he loves.....being with people, playing with his grand kids, being there for mom in her back struggles, pastoring a church, working out...eating whatever he wants :)

-Mom's surgeon and radiologist to agree on what they are seeing in the scans and MRI images.
-Mom's surgery to go better than expected Tuesday.
-Speedy relief from back pain and a quick recovery.

Our biggest praise.....in God's goodness, dad already had his diffibulator when his heart needed it most.

Trusting His Heart,

the kids
